| | Historical Biographies, Nova Scotia: Thomas Chandler Haliburton (1796-1865). |
 | | Haliburton was born at Windsor, Nova Scotia of "Blue Blood" (on both sides of his family there were lawyers and soldiers). |
 | | Finding a young bride in England, Louisa Neville, daughter of a Captain in the 19th Light Dragoons, Haliburton brought her back to Windsor; and, there, he settled down; he had two sons and five daughters, but all, I read somewhere, were at the end of the line: there are no descendants of Haliburton. |
 | | (1851) -- Haliburton was one of the first writers of history to employ the romantic method, viz., the Parkmanian method (it is speculated that Francis Parkman read Haliburton.) Haliburton, however, will be best remembered as a writer of humour; and, in particular, his Sam Slick books, of which he wrote a number. |
